I HAVE READ THIS MORE THAN 5 TIMES NOW AND MOTHERFU-

FCKING SHIT ((IM JUST ADDING HERE)) It's actually hard for me to take in kiyomine at first but the way the author handles her characters really well is fucking fabulous. It was one hell of a ride. I laughed, i cried, i was frustated, angry with these characters. I symphatized with them. The pacing could be slow and sometimes fast but all together it was perfect for the growth of each one. I was left gaping with her art, especially near the last chapters. This is really something. But the thing i couldn't bring myself to forgive kiyomine's actions during the car accident. I fucking knew it was bound to happen. Where something would happen to ayako and he'd blame takara for it or something will happen that he needs to choose between ayako or takara. That was heart breaking to read. (SEE MY RANT) BUTT The thing that i loved about this is how kiyomine and takara show their love for each other, oh and believe me kiyome fcking knows. He is aware of his feelings for takara. That big shit. As for takara, i think it was confirmed by the end, the really end of this manga. Where he would he said he felt lonely in the garden and only if kiyomine would have been there then that would have completed him. IY'S FUCKING OBVIOUS THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER TO THE CORE. they are soulmates, bestfriends, brothers, and lovers all at the same time. They take care of each other, they feel each other. And i always gpt that feeling that kiyomine loves takara more than takara loves him??? U get that feeling too??.

I feel your frustrations my friend (╥﹏╥) I've lost count of how many times I've read this. But, the moments when Kiyomine would instantly bash or point at Takara whenever Ayako comes up, despite the fact that it wasn't even Takara's fault, make me boil. The car accident and Kiyomine saying that he wouldn't allow Ayako and Takara's dad to date/marry cuz Takara looked too much like his mom (=_=). 10/10 Best manga, shounen ai I've ever read though ヾ(☆▽☆)

This is exactly why even though I LOVE THIS MANGA, i can't bear to read it again. I don't think Takara every truly made up for what he did and I felt it in my core. Even though it is stupid of me I hope sensei feels inspired enough to do a sequel one day because it would just be everything!

I got that feeling too! For me it felt like Kiyomine needed Takara more than Takara needs Kiyomine. Takara grew up funny, he was loved but at a distance and I can see him growing up and giving that kind of love too. I imagine he'd always jet off with his camera and come home to kiyomine. I also imagine him getting along really well with Ayako and his father and making Kiyomine feel unloved (though that might be because i feel petty about Kiyo's remarks).
I imagine them trying to define their relationship and coming up short.
I imagine Kiyomine coming home to see Takara after months feeling happy and excited and also disappointed and jealous and not being able to say anything.
I imagine Takara making new friends abroad asking him who's the man in the photo he treasures.
I imagine Takara feeling embarrassed to explain his relationship and I imagine him feeling disappointed for saying 'friends' and trying to correct himself by saying 'family' and wondering why that also fell short.
I imagine them clumsily making their way to each other in the thicket of their feelings and their friendship realising their bond has grown more than they could have ever imagined.
SENSEI SHUT ME UP PLEASE! *sobs to myself for an eternity*

I'm happy to know, that I am not alone in this feeling at least (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ It would definitely be such a amazing gift if sensei makes a sequel to this manga, even if it's just a short one. I just want her to tie up some of the loose ends of this story (╥﹏╥) I wish to see a moment where Kiyomine can sincerely apologize for his words and actions back then and generally to see more cute, fluffy moments between the two!

Yeah I think I'd take anything at this point unfortunately sensei is still in the middle of Super Lovers and that doesn't have any end date in site as of yet.

It would seem so, Super Lovers hasn't even updated for a long while too :'(

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU

I wanted to re-read, but after reading the comment section first. It was so negative that I hesitated several times. Especially on how people say it is bromance rather than shouen ai (I don't believe 27 volumes of it is just full on bromance. There's more feelings involved than that. Furthermore, the relationship between the male leads was a progression as time went on, with several volumes finished. As we went through this journey, both the relationship evolved and they grew to love each other more).

But still the comment section made you not read it. UNTIL I CAME ACROSS YOURS
ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Even tho the mangaka made it obvious that Takara loved him more than a friend and made him go through this unrequited love arc. But at the end, kiyomine changed and I honestly believe Kiyomine loves Takara more than the other way round. I guess, in that way, I am satisfied.

(also he seriously can't tolerate takara dating another person other than him, or being abandoned by Takara, at the end )

Ikr, sometimes people think Labels(and also sex) only confirmed the love between two people, actually I think it's more than that, Kiyomine's the one who lack family's love but still has complete and even was abused at childhood thought that Ayako is the only one he needs so he shakes off other people and Takara is the one who has got love but no family, and when they are together they feel that they are one(according to Kiyo mine ten XD) and they are equal and they definitely can't do without each other, this is purest love with progression of how they change each other for better *sob sob* I am crying while writing this because this story is too beautiful
